For me it causes more acid n acid reflux.

Stay tuned after this sat night for more eating out experiences. I'm going to a resturaunt with different friends this time n a comedy club, which has a two drink minimum n I plan to order water bottles. :0/ it'll b hard not to have wine tho.

I just wrote about my two recent experiences eating out at three weeks post surgery n I'll write again about this upcoming sat nights outing on my content in the thread titled "1st day of my gastric sleeve Surgery journey" http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/25168-the-1st-day-of-my-gastric-sleeve-surgery-journey/page__st__40 :0) if u r interested in reading that. For me it's a big learning experience n experimentation so far.

What wine did u start with?

I just heard only of a lapband surgery death. Sad.

Went out with my friends today. I drank half a protein drink before and brought one for the movie. They don't know I had the surgery told them I was on a diet. I Brought a water bottle in my purse, too. Wasn't easy to smell popcorn or see nachos. It was hard to sit in that seat for two hours. My friends wanted to eat at cheesecake factory, but there's nothing on their huge menu I could have, not even a mushy soup. I ordered salmon because it came with mashed potatoes and everyone else got an appetizer salad and a full meal. It was not a great time cuz I felt depressed for no reason n Wanted to cry, but I think I was overwhelmed socially and seeing them all munch on bread n butter n drink iced teas with cafeine n order pastas n rice n cheesecake n I felt alone I guess. Anyhow I nibbled on the salmon which was dry n chewed two tiny tiny bites many times n two tiny tiny bites of the mashed potatoes. Mind u I'm not supposed to b eating salmon!! Im on mushies right now. Plus, the thought of hidden bones Freaked me out. Anyhow, I felt like I really needed a sip of water after I already felt like fullness n naseau was there n feeling of esophagus full. After that sip I was suffering sweating hurting trying to push it down but i could've easily (and almost did in my napkin) throw up right there! I was unfortunately In the middle of the booth n I learned next time to be at the end!!!!! I acted like I was gonna pee in my pants n bolted to the bathroom. It only had One damn stall! I threw up in the sink. Oh well. I could've easily done it again but a lady came in. I left fast. Ugh. I had no fun today and a lot of leftovers for my dog in a doggy bag. Lol :0/ what i learned today was no no no sipping water over food! No fish yet! Sit at end of tables n near bathroom! Ha ha! happy thanksgiving tomorrow. Hugs!

Thank u ! U r wonderful!! Happy thankgiving!! Congrats on the sleeve! :0)

1, you are not that overweight 2, this surgery will not fix your problem

Anyone took a sip or two of wine on the fourth week?

Had my three wk visit today with surgeon. I go back again in 4wks. All is ok thank goodness n he really Is a great surgeon who did a great job. I guess it's normal to have been worried bout the pain I was having and in general. He says the right side pain is normal. I guess it's just the intense healing process and surgery after effects & scar tissue forming, etc. I walked two miles today. I cannot drive or exercise according to him (for safety of healthy healing n no risk) for at least 2more wks. I'm on mushys for one more wk. The nutritionist wasn't there so hopefully she will call to review how to transition to soft foods. I might meet with a therapist once a wk for a while who specializes in post sleeve surgery issues. I don't want to go back to my bad habits from pre surgery. I was told for pain liquid tylonol is best. Happy thanksgiving. Oh and the surgeon was very pleased with no showing of any scars on my belly and how I look skinnier. :0)

Thanks! Too many abbreviations I need to remember on here ;0)

Very cool!!!!!!! thanks for sharing

today I am down to 27lbs lost in a little over three wks since surgery.

I just got a UC flair up too. I'm trying to just walk for now. But then again I'm only three weeks out from surgery. I hope u feel better.

I'm going to make a more realistic goal. I just want to get close to 200lbs.

What's ppi? Btw I understand how u feel as I'm afraid of eating little bites of bad things n getting back into that bad habit of happy foods and emotional eating.

I was sleeved three wks ago. I'm in my early 30's. I started with 255 and today I'm 228. I too get a naseous feeling and headache with sweet things, even my vitamin chewables. I switched to lactaid n it's good. I also go with gluten free things Now. A lot of people mentioned what u r saying regarding sweet things n taste buds changing. It supposedly passes eventually.

I have the same issues ladies. Katie, I think we know what is needed and you are right about that but the issue is that no matter what we try it's hard to adapt to it right now. Tell us your secret ;0)

Thank you for the response and support and advice! I appreciate it :0)

Thank you I will. U r any day now!!!! Yipeee!! Hugs!! U must b so excited. Kit! :0)

Sooo frustrated that I've only last one measly pound in almost 5 days now. And since surgery a little over three wks ago I've only lost 26lbs! I don't know why it has stopped. I hardly eat and I have very few calories. I walk about half hour a day. Ugh

That's great I'm on my third wk n still in mushies until the end of the month. But I just got used to mushies n finding what's good for me, such as mashed potatoes, ff 2% Greek yogurt, sf Popsicles n fudgsicles, sf choc pudding, ff cottage cheese, broths, lactaid milk, soft goat cheese, protein drinks. Let us know what foods u started with. :0) thanks

Thanks
